Default Trying to understand the lands?

Been trying to understand the term touching lands, and just off the lands and other terms. I have a 204 Handie and this is a 40 grain Vmax loaded at different lengths.

This is loaded at 2.395 like Mitch has is some of his post. These are land marks right? This is way to deep correct?




This is 2.350 and the marks are getting smaller




This is 2.325 really small now




This is where the marks are off now, this is 2.310


So is my load spot for a 40 grain VMax somewhere between 2.310 and 2.325? This is done with RCBS calipers and is to the red tip. Am I seeing this right or doing it all wrong. I though that I had a long throat, but realized that was a bullet with out a ballistic tip and the Berger is more pointy then the VMax I think. Any pointers on if I am looking at this right?
